TIRE PRESSURE
For shipping purposes, the tires on your unit
may be over inflated. Tire pressure should
be reduced before unit is put into operation.
Recommended operating tire pressure
should be 12 p.s.i.
Check sidewall of tire for manufacturer’s
maximum tire pressure. If this information
does not appear on your tire, maximum tire
pressure under any circumstances is 30
p.s.i. Equal tire pressure should be main-
tained on all tires.
FINAL ASSEMBLY
Make certain all nuts and bolts are tightened
securely.
CONTROLS
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch is located on the right
side of the tractor’s dash. To start the en-
gine, insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn clockwise to the START position.
Release the key into the ON position once
engine has fired. See Figure 7 .
Refer to Starting The Engine in the Operation
section of this manual for detailed starting in-
structions.
Never leave a running machine
unattended. Always disengaged
PTO, shift into neutral, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key
to prevent unintended starting.
CHOKE CONTROL
On some models, moving the
throttle lever all the way forward
activates the engine’s choke
control. On all other models the
choke control can be found on
the left side of the dash panel and is acti-
vated by pulling the knob outward.
Activating the choke control closes the
choke plate on the carburetor and aids in
starting the engine. Refer to “Starting the En-
gine”.
THROTTLE CONTROL
LEVER
The throttle lever is lo-
cated on the left side of
the dash panel. This le-
ver controls the speed of
the engine, and on some
models, when pushed all
the way forward, the
choke control also.
When set in a given po-
sition, the throttle will
maintain a uniform en-
gine speed.
IMPORTANT: When op-
erating the tractor with the cutting deck
engaged, be certain that the throttle lever is
always in the FAST (rabbit) position.
DECK ENGAGEMENT / LIFT LEVER
Found on the right side of the tractor, the
deck engagement/lift lever is used to set the
mowing deck’s cutting height and engage
the power to the cutting deck or other (sepa-
rately available) attachments. To operate,
move the lever to the right and forward, be-
fore placing it a notch for your desired
cutting height. Moving the lever to the right
and all the way rearward placing it into the
BLADES STOP position disengages power
to the cutting deck/ attachment.
